SANITARY noon oon'ramnn- I Application filed May 29,. 1925. SeriaLNo. 33.594.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a container allowing a ready dispensing of its contents after the removal of" its cover and the customary, advertisement bearing paper covering therefor. r

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a sanitary container pro-' vided with guiding grooves ending at a certain'di'stance from the cover, so as not to Interfere with the smooth fittingof the same onto the container. I

These and other objects and advantages of the invention will become more fully known as the description thereofproceedsyand will then be specifically pointed out in the 21;

3o pended claima In the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation of the container, closed.

Flg. 2 is a view similar to Figural, with the container open and its contents partly projecting therefrom. s

Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of a modified form of container,

Fig.4 is a cross-section through the, same on line 4-4 of Figure 3.

The container made of card-board or similar suitable material, has a substantially cylindrical shape and-its body 10 is at one end is open and provided'with a. marginal fiange 12. j v A paper cover 13 hearing advertisements etc., envelops body and cover and. mustbe.

' torn before thecover may be removed.

- The contents 14, 'such' as butter, cheese, eta, rest upon a movable bottom 15 within Another object of the inventionis the.

contents in asani'tary, and wholesome condi and spirit of the invention.

end closed by a cover 11- while its opposite body 10, the outward movement'of' which is limited by a, crimp 16 in the side walls, near the bottom flange thereof. v

. In the modified form of my device illus-D. trated in Figures 3 and 4, the container has substantially the same construction as shown and described with respect to Figures 1 and only difference being the provision of lateral longitudinally extending grooves 2, the

17 engaged by the articles Within the con-,

' tamer as indicated at 18,'while homogeneous 3 ears 19 travel in the grooves 17, on the bot-v tom part 15. The groove stop before the end Q of the container, as at 20, so'as to form a; resting place for the cover. The operation of my device will beentirely clear from the above description, the butter,

cheese, etc. are pressed into the container 7 until the movable bottom engages the crimps 16 and the container is then closed and wra ped. v I? it is desired to remove the contents, the

paper envelope is broken and thecover. re- 79 moved, the movable bottom isthen pressed -forward and the cylindrical body of butterwill be projected through the mouth of the container to. a desired distance, to allow the cutting off of such quantity as desired, there- 80 upon the cover is replaced. It'is to beunderstood that changes the construction'of the container as shown and 'descril: ed, byway of example, may be made.

such as fall within the scope of the appended claims, without departureffrom the principle .I-llaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure Let-v tersPatent,is: i

1.,A sanitary food container comprising a cylindrical body, 4 a marginal bottom flange formed with said body. at one end thereof, a movable bottomf' late a ainst whichythe food rests in. said cylmdrical Ody, said marginal flange being. adapted to stop outwardmovement of said movable bottom,. a; cover, an envelope for the 'whole, and a means. comprising; outwardly", extending ridges for guiding said food. andmovable bottom during the projection of the food from said body andfor preventing said 0011- 'tainer from rolling.

2. A. sanitary food container compris ng a cylindrical body, longitudinal ridges extendgrooves, and means for limiting the displaceingoutwardly from said body'to prevent ment of said movable bottom comprising a rolling thereof, said grooves ending at a marginal flange disposed around.v the end of 9 distance fr'omthe mouth of said container, saidcontainer.

' a bottom on which the food is supported, In testimony whereof I have aflixed my 7 cover adapted to engage the end of said movably arranged within said container, a signature.
